Delta has turned out very easy on the eyes.

Vancouver's Trump looks like a fine addition to the city's skyline.
As for the monstrosity of Trump Toronto all I can say to the architect is "you're fired!"

I like it too. Put it anywhere else in the core and people would argue how it's elevated the area. I have a few issues with this building, but they are all minor.

It's definitely not perfect, but it's a fairly decent building over all.

Trump would have been a decent building...

...if completed in 1989.

I like Trump, it would have been better with a larger spire and without the onion dome.

The design is okay but, they really fucked up the details on Trump Toronto. The temp steel shelter that is now a permanent feature also applies. By far the worst tower contribution to the core but, I'm also glad it isn't more prominent were it outside of the core. Of course, it would have been a simpler tower and easier to get right.

That's great news. In 2089 very few will know the difference between 1989 and 2009.

So, it'll be a decent historical building in the future.

Very cool angle of NYCC, looks much more dense than it is from that shot.

You're assuming building design has gotten more attractive since then. It's argue that it's gone down hill with only a few recent designs giving one hope that we're back on the uptick.

All I see are glass boxes and people use terms like "sexy" to describe them. I don't know if this indicates a lack of imagination on their part or my own inability to see a glass box as anything other than a glass box. I will concede that street level presences are definitely better and bases in general.

The general argument goes that "they can't all be gems" which I understand and agree with. The thing is that I don't point out that it's a glass box until after the usual fawning about how graceful some new box looks. What I don't get is why we can't throw a little ornamentation in every now and again. Or at least some sort of color scheme.
